All X-ray data are provided as spec files,

'Raw Data/SpecFile_Sample1_June2021'
'Raw Data/SpecFile_Sample2_Nov2021'

for samples 1 and 2, respectively.

Data may be visualized/extracted by scan number using the PyMCA program (http://www.silx.org/doc/PyMca/dev/index.html), or the spec2nexus python module (https://pypi.org/project/spec2nexus/).

The appropriate scan numbers (i.e. raw data) for a given data set are provided in the included text files within each Figure subdirectory. The final processed data files are also included in the appropriate Figure subdirectory where applicable.

Within the SPEC files, the important columns are:
Capacitance of strain cell gap:           'AHcap'		(units: pF)
Lockin voltage for resistance:            'SRS810x'		(units: V)
APD for diffraction:                      'APD'			(units: counts)
I0 monitor for diffraction normalization: 'IC3'			(units: counts)
Incident Photon Energy:                   'Energy'		(units: keV)
XLD PFY signal:                           'xspROI1totcMon'	(units: counts)

During scans corresponding to XLD measurements, each file is duplicated by appending '(+)'/'(-)'. The '(+)' channel corresponds to signal during linear vertical polarization, while '(-)' is during linear horizontal polarization. At each incident energy, the polarizations are swapped rapidly in a sequence LV/LH/LH/LV. Corresponding channels are then doubled, representing the sum of the two measurements from the appropriate polarization. Thus, unnormalized values (e.g. capacitance, resistance or temperature) need to be divided by two during these measurements.

Lock-in units for resistance measurements are in volts. Applied 4-wire current was 1mA.

Sample temperatures are monitored/recorded in 'SampK'/'SampTemp' columns in units of Kelvin.
